Global Warming for Dummies

Global Warming for Dummies

By Chautauqua

You remember them, I'm sure you do.How could we ever forget such people?It seems they were just always there.No matter where on this planet you went to
school there were always a handful of those smarmy, conceited, opinionated,
cowardly little quislings who thru the magic of ego always claimed to be
right.It never mattered what evidence
there may be to the contrary, not even eye witnesses could prove them wrong.

Even worse than being insufferable, these dilatants of the
schoolyard somehow always managed to get protected species status whenever the
principal became involved.they were
always the ones to start things off, then when it got out of hand, they were
somehow just never held accountable, for anything; and never had to show their
work.They were a large part of why most
of us hated going to school.I took
comfort in knowing that the real world beyond the schoolyard would eat those
spoiled brats alive.I never dreamed
they would be running (and ruining) the planet fifty hears later.

Back when I went to school being smart was what it was all
about, becoming an educated, intelligent person.I'm not sure about everyone else, but it just
seemed to me that the smarter one became; the more advantage they had over the
ignorant by choice types.It was why
moms wanted their daughters to marry doctors or lawyers: big brain - big
bucks!As I entered the workforce it
certainly seemed like the smartest and most highly educated were the ones who
worked at the management level, while the rest of us punched time cards.Accordinglyit just went without saying that that to rise to the highest office in
American politics, one must be smarter & more intelligent than the great
unwashed masses; it was kind of a prerequisite for the job.

Then about twenty years ago it all began to change, almost
overnight it seems."They"
began the great dumbing down of America in subtle little ways at first; the way
all good social engineering begins.Moving ever closer to their endgame objectives, the last thing"they" wanted was an educated,
intelligent population capable of critical thought.The groundwork of course was laid with the
younger generation.In oh-so-subtle ways
the powers that be torpedoed the upcoming generation by hi-jacking their
culture and replacing it with the cult of the BCFMO's (Brightly Colored Fast
Moving Objects).Before long the ME
generation became self absorbed, marginalized and polarized, wanting nothing to
do with Washington politics.Exactly as
planned.

Leaving nothing whatsoever to chance, the powers that be
covered all the bases with dozens of projects & programs which kicked the
dumbing down of America into high gear.Things like Chemtrails, GWEN towers, GMO food-like-products, and
aspartame to go along with all the fluoridated water.Weather modification became a huge thing,
because what good is being able to do a thing, if you don't actually do
it.Never mind the consequences to the
environment, or children.

Soon, all the legislation to protect the environment from
industrial pollution began to disappear; replaced by legislation favoring the
polluters, and privatizing water.To top
it all off and seal our fates they then installed our first ever truly moronic
president, the bemused chimp, "W".Our new role model in chief appeared as a savior to the ignorant and
uneducated.He instilled a new found
pride in all who cannot speak without embarrassing themselves, or who just make
up words when they don't know the correct one.This of course quickly mutated into just making up new facts when the
real ones are too inconvenient ~ and if the president can get away with it,
then it must be okay.Somewhere in those
eight years of "W" everything got turned on its head and suddenly
everyone wanted to be Larry the cable guy so the Tea Party was created so the
truly ignorant could be represented in Washington DC.

To me the most frightening aspect of all this was the way
those in power suddenly stopped going to extremes to conceal their crime &
treason.Where always before dirty deeds
were done in dark smoky rooms under a thick cloak of plausible deniability; now
they were doing them in broad daylight, for everyone to see...as if they no
longer cared!With Dick Cheney &
Karl Rove at the helm; a war on perception itself was waged whenever questions
were raised.By simply exchanging the
words being used with their own, they sought to bring obfuscation to an actual
art form for the ant farm.It worked
beautifully.The legislation to protect
polluters became the clean air & water act; the government controlled
propaganda mill became clear channel and of course, global warming turned into
climate change.Change the words, spin
the truth, crush the opposition!

It never seems to matter nowadays what the facts are; not
with the spin doctors & their manicured one-size-fits-all talking points
parroted by every talking head on every one of those clear channels.Yup, these are the very same talking heads
who last week acted like Eric Cantor loosing an election was a national
tragedy, while dismissing the most recent school shooting as one would a rainy
day...except we don't seem to be getting many of those anymore!What really gets me is how they even attempt
to deny the obvious reality of global warming with their antics of obfuscation
& Newspeak. You see "climate
change" is a very natural and normal part of life on earth; there have
been many instances of climate change throughout history, always preceded by
some global event, such as the end of the ice age.Global warming isn't so natural in our case,
as it is the direct result of burning fossil fuels; and is tied directly to our
conduct upon the planet.

It takes a full year for Earth to take a single breath.We have a record of this breathing going back
some eight hundred thousand years.Every
ice core sample we take from the arctic regions holds an unbroken record of
earth's atmosphere.In all that time,
the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels never exceeded three one hundredths of one
percent...until the turn of the 20th century.By burning fossil fuels we have turned earth's atmosphere into a dumping
ground, with 40% higher CO2levels than
before the industrial revolution.All
this additional carbon dioxide has the direct result of trapping heat inside
the atmosphere that should be escaping back to space.With our arrogant mindless burning of fossil
fuels, humans are dumping far more CO2 into the atmosphere than earth can
absorb.As a result, CO2 is building up
in the atmosphere, which traps heat in, which is why we humans are responsible
for global warming.

Yes, I know there are those who will say it isn't us, but
rather the volcanoes on the planet.Well, we can tell the two apart on the microscopic level; and the
numbers say that all the planet's volcanoes add 500 million tons of volcanic CO2
to the atmosphere annually.That is less
than 2% of the 30 Billion tons of industrial CO2 we dump into the atmosphere
every year.The measured annual increase
in atmospheric CO2 matches this known amount we create, almost perfectly!If only carbon dioxide wasn't invisible;
maybe if we could see it we could abandon our denial.The arctic region is warming faster than
anywhere on earth, and the arctic is primarily composed of permafrost which is
permanently frozen organic material.With the arctic warming, the permafrost is thawing, melting, and
rotting; adding massive doses of CO2 and methane (another dangerous greenhouse
gas) to the already polluted atmosphere.

Scientists are concerned about this because the entire
arctic region can double the current atmospheric CO2 levels; which in turn
could conceivably crank the positive feedback loop into territory the
earthmight not recover from, ever!If the Earth quits breathing & dies from
CO2 poisoning...well, you can extrapolate what that would mean for us.So, why exactly are we still burning fossil
fuels?Then there is that whole
Fukushima factor, and people dying in the gulf of Mexico from corexit
poisoning...Who benefits from turning Earth into Venus' twin?

Then there are those who claim that global warming is a
result of the Sun.Well, let's have a
look at the facts!First of all, solar
output levels have remained stable over a remarkable length of time, no
increase that would account for all the warming we're currently seeing.Then, there is the fact that earth is warming
more at night than during the day; and warming more in winter than in
summer.Exactly what one would expect
from industrial greenhouse warming.It
isn't the Sun - but the sun can save us from ourselves, there is still time if
we just choose to act instead of deny.In one hour more solar energy falls to earth than all the energy our
civilization consumes in a year.Suppose
we could harness just a small fraction of available solar & wind power; we
could supply ALL our energy needs forever without adding carbon dioxide to the
air we breathe.Simple really!So, why do we ignore these facts, and
continue to pollute & toxify the only planet we have to live on??

It is perfectly fine to not know all the answers all the
time, it's what fuels the thirst for knowledge in the first place.In every case, it is always better to admit
one's own ignorance than to believe in something wrong, or not to believe at
all.Pretending to have all the answers
closes & locks the door to discovering the truth; and it dishonors your
soul.The abandonment of reason &
logic can only lead us into a second helping of the dark ages, and doesn't that
sound perfectly dreamy?

Is it logical or reasonable to continually elect, then
ignore politicians who when pressed for accountability always use the same
words; "I have no recollection of that at this time."?Does it strike you as odd that following the
eight years of "W" we immediately got eight years zero progress on
anything?"They" would have us
all believe that congress & Washington are in gridlock because of the skin
color of the resident president; when the truth is they are using that as a
ruse, a ploy to provide the country with street theater while they continue to
rob everyone blind and push their endgame agenda.What does it say about us as a species that
we give more credibility to the lies about global warming than to what we can
observe around us with our own senses?Nothing terribly good, I'm afraid.

So, this is the whirlwind we reap for ignoring those prissy
cowards on the schoolyard fifty years ago; when we should have kicked their
collective asses.If no behavior
modification is applied to spoiled brat children during the formative years,
what you invariably end up with is spoiled brat adults who think the rules
don't apply to them, because they never have.Sums up our current dilemma rather nicely but unfortunately doesn't
offer much in the way of solace at this point.The way out of this quagmire nightmare isn't going to be easy, but it is
possible.It comes down, as always to a
simple choice.You can choose to know,
or to deny.You can choose to act, or
be the deer in the headlights.The
choice is yours! Knowledge is power ~ Ignorance is bliss.Pick one!

about me

A new counter-culture is now spreading across the planet, a movement dedicated to protesting at the outlandish behaviour of the control freaks, with their surveillance, eavesdropping, secrecy and lies. Their greed and belligerent sabre rattling and their industries of war. The dream is to replace these sociopaths with Love!

I wish this blog to be a small part of this - We must be the change.

We will be set to task to rebuild our world and our planet from centuries of decimation and destruction brought on by the fallacy, the belief that we once tragically and collectively embraced thousands of years ago – the mistaken notion that we are separate from one another and everything else on the planet and in the universe. We will finally recognize that the truth is just the opposite – we are all one with everything on the planet and in the universe. We are spiritual beings, infinite consciousness simply having a human experience, and as soon we come to fully recognize and understand this, it will then finally be time for us to fly – to shine in all of our infinite, glorious possibility...
